Outward bound message, to all interested, friendly parties.
Re: Deployment of Warlock-class Strategic Destroyer

"It has been nearly ten years in development, and finally the project is finished. The endoskeleton's have been tested and retested against all kinds of pressures, the hull designs have been redone and changed no less then six times, new systems were incorperated as they were invented, and finally, the ultimate in Indiastan warship design is ready to roll out of its cradle inside the sheltered shipyard of Ophelia Base. The first stage of the INV Dreadnaught's to its christening at Gammak. The first official test of the ship's jump engines will commence, in order to cut the travel time from Uranus to Jupiter from some 6 months down to about 6 hours. From there, Captain Advani will take it on a tour around the system, with stops at Saturn, Mars, and Earth. Afterwards, a full weapons test will be conducted upon a testing range built on the surface of Mercury, in order to show off the abilities of the new strategic destroyers. We will be more then happy to pick up any delegates that wish to join us for this little party, though if they wish to attend the actual christening, they will have to either arrange their own transport to Gamak (which orbits Jupiter), or buy passage aboard one of our starliners. Attached is a brief overview of the capabilites of the Warlock. Thank you."

(OOC Note: I get to decide who is a "friendly party." Meaning, I reserve the right to refuse to allow potentially hostile spies to view my newest toy. Also, those stats up there are just for the record, not actualy part of the message. Gotta remember just what that thing can do, eh? ;))

*Does count as friendly*

*Wonders what the rebels in Pakistan will do, for example, say, seizing the warlocks*

*Does, however, arrive*

Indiastani Tech looked, as usual, strange to her. Somehow outdated, although she knew that, despite it`s ugly look, this tech had it`s advantages. It was some time since she last left Ganymede, when the negotiations with the (Creepy & odd) Kaeneians took place.

She enjoyed it, being in space again, and visiting the close neighbor was some nice entertainment... although she didnĀ“t exactly believe in the godlikeness of the warlocks as Indiastan claimed them to be.

For a moment, stepping out of the airlock onto the Gamak station, she sighed, the metal below her feet, and generally all around her not exactly something she was used to.

Well, at least the station had rotating parts, artificial gravity. Not too bad.

Well... lets see what the show will look like... And lets hope the rebels do not plan anything.
